About the ILA Leadership Education Program Directory
The International Leadership Association (ILA) is pleased to provide this searchable directory of more than 1,000 Leadership Programs. The Directory, which originally started as a grant-funded initiative, aims to provide users with a tool through which they may discover higher education leadership programs for the purposes of networking, research, or to further their own educational aspirations.
A foundational block of ILA’s mission is to generate and disseminate information of use for leadership professionals. Maintained in partnership with ILA Members, the information contained within the directory is neither guaranteed nor endorsed by ILA. Those utilizing the ILA online Leadership Program Directory are advised to consult with individual programs and centers for the most up-to-date information.
What’s Included in the Directory?
- The Leadership Program Directory lists academic leadership certificate and degree programs that are offered in institutions of higher education (e.g. PhD in Organizational Leadership at University of ABC). These programs may terminate with an academic certificate or a degree ranging from an associates or foundation degree all the way up to a doctorate.
- The Leadership Program Directory lists centers (Smith Leadership Center at the University of ABC) or offices (e.g. President’s Office) located at institutions of higher education that offer non-academic or co-curricular leadership programing. These centers might offer dozens of leadership programs or just one.
